look at it

the night sky 
is something we are familiar with 
but most of us 
don't give it much thought 
not enough time
to gaze at it 
 
look at it
they go “if i look at that thing for even a second who knows what could pounce on me”
look at it
“you know they say it can blind you”
look at it
“sorry im getting a call can you give me a minute?”
look at it 
“ugh i need to get going stop wasting my time”
LOOK AT IT

their eyes widen
woah’s
and 
gosh’s
and 
wow’s
are spoken

look at the comets
“there goes hailey!”
look at the asteroids
“i think ceres is going for me”
look at the constellations
“there’s orion, leo, cygnus, taurus..”

you have your telescope now
you see asteroids 
meteors
moons
planets

“i can see jupiter”
“saturn”
“uranus” 
“pluto”
wait
pluto?

all i want
from everyone 
is 
to
look
at
it
